After we got to Moulmien, we stayed in a hotel, and then we went to Kyaikami! ( pronounced Jackamay) It took an hour and a half to go the thirty miles. It was fast driving , like on the way to Moulmien. While we avoided all of the people, and most of the animals, we did hit a dog. Most animals got out of the way, and we slowed down anyway, this one dog was walking across the street, and it didn't run away when we came barreling towards it, and we didn't slow down (don't ask me why), and we ran into it at probably at least fifty miles per hour. We heard the thump it made when we hit it. we didn't even stop to see if it was all right. I didn't even turn around until I thought it would be out of sight. I didn't see it, and if I did, I didn't notice it. But one of the people in the car, May Oo, saw the dog get up and walk away, so at least it didn't die, that we know of. When we got to Kyaikami, we went to the Ann H. Judson memorial
commemerating her life and death. Next to it was the First Baptist Church of Amherst. It was founded by Adoniram Judson, but it has the corner-stone from the original Ann H. Judson memorial church, which is no more. Then we went to the beach, on the shore of the Indian ocean, and had our lunch at a resturaunt there. They had the option for a hamburger, and also for potato crisps (chips), but they said it wasn't what we think of as a hamburger, and they seemingly had no potato crisps. (I didn't understand what they were saying, since they spoke in their language) On the way back we stopped at a really big Bhudda,

and tried to find a memorial pagoda to a Christian missionary. (the missionary was witnessing Christ's love to who-ever came to her for medical care. She was a nurse, and she gave the best medical care in her area, so when the government got thugs to arrest her, everyone in the village, including the Bhuddists, rebelled against her capture, and there was a fight. Eventually she died, and the Bhuddists built a memorial pagoda in her honor)
A Moosician!!!
Hitting a dog at 50 mph sounds like something that's more appropriate in GTA V. Now I know that driving in countries abroad seems to be a little more rowdy than I thought it'd be.
ReplyDeleteThe memorial also as an interesting history.
The pagoda, you mean?
